Overview
The Imperial and Corndel Data Analyst Programme is one of four Data Academy courses designed to equip staff with the digital skills and technical proficiency needed to succeed in their current work roles.
This programme is for staff who work with large datasets and build predictive tools. It will allow you to develop the techniques, skills, and knowledge to generate meaningful insights from the organisational data you work with in your day-to-day role.
Delivered over nineteen months through blended learning, this course includes sixteen hands-on workshops with a data science expert, fortnightly 1-1 sessions with a coach, guided self-learning, and bite-sized practical projects. You will also attend a masterclass programme delivered by Imperial College academics and learn about the analytics and technologies that are rapidly coming over the horizon to impact how you do your job.

The programme is available to eligible Imperial staff from any job family or department whose roles require manipulating and interrogating large amounts of data.
